lox-lang 0.0.3

A Lox language runtime for Rust
Documentation
#![deny(clippy::all)]
#![warn(clippy::pedantic)]

//! An implementation of the Lox programming language.
//!
//! ## About Lox
//!
//! Lox is a dynamically typed, interpreted scripting language. It was designed by Bob Nystrom for
//! his book [Crafting Interpreters](http://craftinginterpreters.com).
//!
//! ## About this implementation
//!
//! This library aims to implement Lox faithfully to the quasi-specification laid out in the book,
//! as well as some language extensions suggested as exercises to the reader. It is loosely based
//! off of the book's third part, which is a guide to implementing an interpreter in C.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Included in this package (and installable via `cargo install lox_lang`) is a small wrapper
//! executable named `loxi`. It is the simplest route to trying out the Lox language.
//!
//! If you want to embed Lox in a larger Rust project, you will need to create an instance of
//! [`VM`](struct.VM.html) and use its [`interpret`](struct.VM.html#method.interpret) method to run
//! your code:
//!
//! ```
//! let mut my_vm = lox_lang::VM::default();
//! my_vm.interpret(r#" print "hello " + "world"; "#).unwrap();
//! ```
